I Love You

Evelyn Louise May

He slid into the driver’s seat of the small red car; we were just a year out of high school. His hands fumbled through coat pockets searching, his face turning red as he looked away. From his breast pocket a white folded scrap of paper. “One more thing,” handing me the note. This must have been the kind of letter that says something that cannot be spoken, a truth that means nothing will ever be the same. In boyish handwriting a simple message.
